Back Pain on a sagging Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress

Hi Pete,

I bought a Simmons Beautyrest Black Luxury Firm mattress a few years ago.

It has sagged and offers no support.  

I've been having hip and lower back pain since purchasing this mattress.  

I need support and comfort.    

I have made many poor choices buying mattresses and want to make a smart decision that will give me years of satisfaction.

Many thanks for you time!

Katharine

 

Hi Katharine,

The problem you've been facing is the poor performance of the upholstery layers in today's mattresses.

All that memory foam feels fine when new, but doesn't keep its shape, comfort, or support for very long.

This problem exists for most mattresses made over the last several years.

I'm recommending the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.

This provides the same type of support as in the Simmons Beautyrest, but better.

The coil count is higher and the coils are stronger in the Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses.

What's more, the upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex...and contains NO Memory Foam.

I have a very bad back, but this mattress allows me to sleep and wake without back pain.

My wife and I weigh more than 200 lbs., each. 

Yet, our mattress has remained in like new condition during the 9+ years we've been sleeping on it.

Of the four model in the Natura of Canada Greenspring line, the Ultra Plush is the most comfortable.

The Ultra Plush model is the one we have at home.

I’m interested in buying the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

Hi Pete,

I’m interested in buying the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

Do these Greenspring mattresses offer a low-profile foundation?

 

I’m ready to order, although I want to make sure I get the right Greenspring model.  

I need a queen. I sleep alone, so motion control not an issue.  

I'm a side sleeper mostly, although I do move around.  

I'm a heavy woman (220 lbs.).  

Is this the mattress you would recommend?

Thanks, Silvia

 

Hi Silvia,

Yes. My wife and I are, each, your size and have the Ultra Plush model.

Our mattress is 9+ years old and still in great condition.

Because all of the components are of such high quality, all of the models are firmer than they sound.

The most popular is the Ultra Plush....especially for cushioning a female's hip.

 

When you choose your size, you are able to choose the mattress with a 5" foundation.

A Mattress for Back Pain from DDD.

Ellen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am in the market to replace my ancient queen mattress/box springs but am dealing with a couple of issues:

1) Husband and I are around 200 lbs but are around the same height. We are both side sleepers.

2) I have back pain due to DDD, degenerated disc disease.

I suppose I am looking for something of quality, (resistant to sagging), that will address the pain issues.

Neither of us likes a soft mattress.

Natura of Canada Greenspring looks like a good choice, but which model?

Thanks, Ellen

 

Hi Ellen,

One of our most frequently recommendations will also suit the two of you...as it has, the two of us.

My wife and I are, each, over 200 lbs.

I, too, have DDD along with herniated and bulging discs.

I sleep and wake with no back pain.

Our Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress is more than 9 years old and still in like new condition.

The quality of these mattresses is very high and all are firmer than their firmness designation.

We have the Ultra Plush, which is nowhere near as soft as it sounds.

This it your best choice for side sleepers.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses.

Gary writes:

Hi Pete,

I've been reading the heck out of your testimonials page, and you deserve tons of kudos!

I read that many people have..."stopped by your store".  

What is your mattress store name and location? We'd like to stop by.

We are indeed, very impressed with what we read about the Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses.

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-greenspring-pocketed-coil-mattresses/

Thanks, Gary

 

Good Morning, Gary.

You’re more than 14 years too late for that.

The hardware store next to me caught fire in 2009.

Half of the strip mall was lost…including my store.

 

We had been blogging and selling mattresses online since 2003.

By the time of the fire, we were doing so much online business, that we no longer needed a physical store. 

We've been an online retailer ever since.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is what my wife and I have been sleeping on for the 

last 9+ years. It's still in like new condition with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs. 

It's has been our most popular mattress.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress is what we want.

April writes:

Hi Pete,

My husband and I have been researching mattress and found your blog posts.

Your information is, by far, more detailed than anywhere else on the internet.

After spending hours reading, we are convinced that the Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress is the one we want. We want our mattress to be firm and comfortable, but not too soft.

Which of their models do you recommend?

Thanks, April

 

Hi April,

There's no question about it.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is the most comfortable of their 4 models.

It's their most popular model and the one my wife and I sleep on at home.

Ours is 9+ years old and still in like new condition...and we're not small people!

The support provided by all their models has the same firm support.

Due to the natural Talalay Latex upholstery, which is far more resilient than any other type of upholstery, each of their models is firmer than they sound.

Of their 4 models, only the Ultra Plush is really comfortable...and not too soft by anyone's standards.

Returning an Awara Mattress.

Jessica writes:

 

Good Afternoon! 
Hoping you can provide me with a recommendation :) 

Here is where we are at in our mattress journey. 

I came across your blog while trying to find a replacement mattress. 

We have been trying out the Awara hybrid after months of research but are returning it because of poor edge support and overall dissatisfaction with the quality of construction. 

We opted for Awara originally because we wanted a more natural mattress that doesn't have harmful chemicals. My husband and I are average size and mostly side sleepers. 

We prefer a medium firm to firm mattress. 

When stopping by a local mattress store to lay on a few options we realized we really prefer hybrid mattresses and especially liked the black series Simmons Beautyrest in medium firm but unfortunately the price tag was pretty large for a king size and there wasn't great information on if the mattress was toxic at all and would off gas over time. 

I would love your thoughts as you do seem to be an expert. Based on reading your blogs it sounds like you would recommend this one: 
https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/tulah-luxury-plush-eurotop/

 

Is there any more information or reviews I can find for that mattress? 

With there not being a trial period, I am very nervous to make that large of a purchase without doing as much due diligence as I can to ensure it will be a good fit for us. 

 

Thanks so much!

Jessica 

 

Hi Jessica,

What you’re looking for in terms of edge support, is a question.

The Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop Mattress has edge support that supports you well enough in a prone position, when you’re lying close to the edge of the mattress.

It doesn’t have good edge support for sitting.

 

It’s a firm mattress…firmer than the name indicates.

We have family and friends who sleep on that mattress and they like it very much.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/tulah-luxury-plush-eurotop/

It’s something we recommend for average size people.

If you’re heavier than average, we recommend the Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses, 

which are stronger, and with a substantial seating edge.

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-greenspring-pocketed-coil-mattresses/

The ultra plush model is the most comfortable. It, too, is not as soft as it sounds.

This is the mattress my wife and I sleep on. It’s 9+ years old and still in like new condition. Each of us weigh more than 200 lbs.

 

The Natura Mattress comes with White Glove Delivery.

The Wolf mattress comes shrink wrapped, rolled and boxed with FedEx Delivery.

 

Delivery is free.

The Wolf mattress arrives within 2 weeks.

The Natura Mattress takes 4-6 weeks.

 

Thanks, Pete

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress has caught my eye.

Helen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My husband and I plan on purchasing a new mattress within the next couple of months. 

He is 6’ weighs around 200 lbs. I’m 5’7 weighing 240lbs.

We are both side sleepers and prefer an extremely firm mattress with me wanting a little cushion!   

I need something that sleeps “cool”.  

Also, he has back/neck issues and I have just gone through knee replacement.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress has caught my eye.

However, I want to make sure that we choose the right mattress!

Respectfully, Helen

 

Hi Helen,

My wife and I are the same weights as you and your husband…a little shorter.

We have the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress at home.

It is as you describe wanting…firm with a bit of cushion.

It isn’t too soft by anyone’s standards.

In fact, we had to add a softer latex topper to ours for my wife’s sensitive hip.

 

Our mattress is 9+ years old and still in like new condition.

I have a very bad back, but sleep and wake without back pain.

I believe it’s the right choice for you, as well.

The matching foundation comes 5” or 9” high, so you’ll want to take a measurement before placing your order. 

The mattress is 13.5” thick.

Back Pain on a New Simmons Beautyrest Mattress.

Robin writes:

Hi Pete,

We recently replaced our old Simmons Beautyrest mattress, which we loved, with a new one.

We fully expected to experience the same level of satisfaction with this new mattress.

Unfortunately, quite the opposite has happened.

Almost immediately after the comfort guarantee time limit was over, we began experiencing back pain.

We didn't have back pain from our old Beautyrest.

The store where we bought it is no help. They say that the minor body impressions fall within normal range.

But, when we're in the mattress, we sink pretty far into it. 

We contacted Simmons about this. Frankly, nobody seems to care.

 

My next step was to research this, which I should have done prior, but didn't know I had to until now.

That's when I found your informative blog. Per what I read there; I checked the label on our mattress. 

You are correct. The upholstery material is memory foam.

I also learned that Simmons has changed hands.

I can't tell you how disappointed we are with the quality of this mattress.

 

My husband and I are not light weight people...not too heavy either.

We want quality and see that you sleep on the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

Is this something you'd recommended for us?

We want a mattress that's comfortable, but not too soft.

Thanks in advance, Robin

 

Hi Robin,

It is the memory foam in your mattress that is causing your back pain.

Memory foam softens as it warms from your body heat....allowing you to sink so far as to throw off the natural alignment of your spine.

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring is one of the highest quality line of mattresses we could find while shopping at the industry trade shows. Their Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable in that line, without being too soft.

Natural Latex is the most resilient upholstery material available. It does not allow you to sink.

The individually pocketed coil system, while similar to that used in the Simmons Beautyrests, is stronger.

The coil count is greater and the coils are made of double tempered steel.

The coils in a Beautyrest are made of raw steel, not tempered at all.

 

The latex upholstery is the antithesis to memory foam...the best compared to the worst.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

Memory foam sleeps hot and off gasses the toxic chemical from which it's made.

Natural latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the past 100 years.

It does not sleep hot and retains its shape and comfort over many years...and, there are no toxins.

 

My wife and I sleep on this mattress. We are heavy people, each over 200 lbs.

Our mattress is 9+ years old and still in like new condition...just to give you an idea of how well this mattress holds up.

What's more, I have a very bad back...I sleep and wake with NO Back Pain!

We sell a lot of this particular model and get the same results for all of our customers...NO More Back Pain!

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress comes with our highest recommendation.

You will love the feel of this mattress and the great night's sleep it provides for many, many years.

Sealy Posturpedic Mattress. The off-gassing is terrible!

Stanley writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I made a horrible mistake and bought a Sealy Posturpedic Mattress made of memory foam.  

The off-gassing is terrible! (I wish I had seen your website earlier).  

I'm thinking of taking your advice and buying a pocket coil mattress with no memory foam and then purchasing a latex mattress topper. 

What do you recommend?

Thanks, Stanley

 

Hi Stanley,

The Latex Topper may or may not be necessary. 

I recommend waiting until your new mattress arrives before deciding about the topper.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress has 3" of latex in it...NO Memory Foam.

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

The individually pocketed coils provide excellent support designed to maintain the natural alignment of the body and spine. However, this mattress is not as soft as "Ultra Plush" would lead you to believe.

My wife and I have had this same mattress for more than 9 years.

It's still in great shape, despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

It's perfectly comfortable for me, but my wife has a sensitive hip...so we added a soft latex topper.

 

About 10% of the people who buy this mattress, go on to add a topper.

Wait about a week after you get this mattress before determining of a topper is necessary.

Here is a link to our Toppers page:

This mattress comes with White Glove Delivery.

The Toppers ship vis FedEx.

Delivery and Shipping are Free.

We've been through 5 mattresses in as many years.

Chuck writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We've been through 5 mattresses in as many years. I finally went on line to find out why.

That's when I found your informative blogs about mattresses.

Now, I know why. It's the memory foam in each of the mattresses I bought.

What's the best mattress?

I'm sick and tired of all the run around and BS I've gotten from my local store.

Please, send me a link to the best mattress, which I assume, will have no memory foam in it.

Thanks, Chuck

 

Hi Chuck,

You're right! Memory foam is the reason for all the bad mattresses you've purchased.

Since you already know what the problem is, I won't waste your time going over all that again.

We are a "Memory Foam Free" retailer. Nothing we sell has memory foam in it.

The very best that we carry is the mattress my wife and I have been sleeping on for several years.

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

The double tempered, individually pocketed provide long lasting support that maintains the natural alignment of the spine, which is key to relieving chronic back pain. 

The Natural Talalay Latex upholstery provides long lasting surface comfort.

Natural Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.

Memory foam has proven to be the worst upholstery material ever invented, over its 20-year history.

 

My wife and I sleep on this same mattress, which is 9+ years old.

It is still in like new condition, despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

I sleep and wake without back pain, despite having a very bad back.
